SOS: Visual Arts

I am a big promoter of using, ahem, utilizing your college's resources and well, money. Your paying for this education! Use every drop of it you can. It's better than coffee and the buzz lasts longer too.

STUDENTS: ACTIVITY GRANT FUNDING AVAILABLE FOR ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Foundation Activity Grant applications are due October 5 at 5 p.m.

Foundation Activity Grants are offered by The Evergreen State College Foundation and administered by the Academic Grants office. This program supports the projects of individual students, student teams, and student-faculty teams. Faculty may participate as part of a student team. Activity Grant projects are usually carried out in conjunction with academic programs and all projects must have at least one faculty sponsor.

Over the years the program has supported a variety of efforts, including theatrical productions, art projects and exhibitions, scientific research, video and film productions, implementation of sustainable agricultural practices, student literary magazines, and expenses for students to attend professional conferences and present their work.

The maximum award per student is $1,000. Teams of two students may apply for up to $2,000, and three or more students may apply for up to $3,000 total for a project. The Foundation can award about 7 to 10 students each fall, winter and spring quarter. We expect considerable competition for these awards.
